Yeah, but only on DSLRs. They won't match accessories, lenses etc unless you buy them with the camera body.
The policy seems to mysteriously change between stores.
I don't buy from them on principle anyway - they're still selling memory cards at rip off prices. Usually double what you'd pay online, which is inexcuseable IMO. They've become the Dixons of photography. They used to be a brilliant photography shop - I got my first SLR there when I was a kid. A "Centon" Minolta clone. What happened? :-(

Make things look eerily pretty in my opinion. Well worth the £13.

The observant amongst you will notice I just started a new thread on this very topic, as I'm a computard. What bothers me most of all is reading this reminded me that I'd already read it, about two days ago... Silly Tandino! Anyway, information is useful, thank you!

I don't even care about them, but this is fascinating.

Pissing hell. I can see why the cost so much now. Top video.

I can't help but think that's quite an old way of doing it, like early 90's, but even so, fascinating!
I do love the "how stuff is made" series that is on Discovery and other similar channels.

I wonder if the fact that the one on my old phone had a massive crack right across it affected the image quality?

Not if you only take photos of bums.
